So I got my refund back from PayPal, but its showing as around £60 less in my credit card. Most likely due to conversion rate or something. Anyone else had the same?

I've yet to receive the actual refund but I paid in Euro and my local currency is Euro so I expect to get the same amount back.

PayPal make up their own conversation rates anyway! They're jokers

My payment was in Euros but my refund was the correct amount in Dollars.

Thanks for confirming. I'll have to contact my CC and see what the deal is. Bad enough we got stung, but annoying being short changed for the privilege!

I was just issued a refund after an hour on the phone with PayPal. The date passed and they were going to give Victor 2 more days to respond. I was able to reason with a very nice supervisor who saw to it that I received my refund. My advice to @Dwlighting is to call and do the same.

On a side note, while on the phone I asked if he knew the amount of the fraud and he said over $200,000.

I called and the supervisor said they have to finish the investigation because of my claim amount ($2k eur).

I'm curious, if you don't mind sharing, what was your refund amount that you were able to convince them over the phone to issue the refund before they were done their investigation?

They refunding me in full 10 days after I logged the dispute.

It all seemed to be automated.

I am 18 days past logging the dispute. What was your amount? It was to close by the 21st so I hope soon.

My case was also just settled in my favour.

I'd love to know what happens now. Will PayPal go after this guy? Will he ever pay the money back if he's caught? Will he go to court? Will he receive a sentence?
Paypal do tend to work with banks to go after serial offenders and I hope he ends up spending some time in the can for it given how deliberate the whole thing was, glad to hear of some money returned so far already and others in progress

I'm based in the UK. I mentioned that I've been part of a scam in my complaint and item did not arrive. As Victor didn't respond in the timeframe the refund went through.

In my case, they tried to extend the 10 days Victor had to respond to 13 days. I politely complained and after 45 minutes where I eventually spoke with a supervisor, the refund was issued.
